Assistant Superintendent John Fogarty introduced district staff and thanked the board for allowing the Facilities Study Session to occur in late spring, due to updated developer information recently received.
Enrollment Projections
Lorrie Ruiz and Jesse Baron provided an overview of new residential development areas and occupancy trends. District-wide moderate enrollment projections were also presented.
The Irvine Company’s current business plan indicates a potential increase of 1,069 dwelling units from the original Mitigation Agreement. The Mitigation Agreement contains language for additional project dwelling units; however, the projected increase does not provide enough funding or enrollment for an additional school. Based on growth trends in the northern sphere, staff outlined a variety of options to increase capacity.
Member Wallin requested the board revisit the Board Policy regarding School Size and requested a specific period of time be identified as peaks for enrollment.
Member Parham urged staff to be more proactive in informing families about Online and Homeschool options for displaced students.
Board members discussed the district’s growth and the use of enrollment assumptions based on the temporary suspended board policy permitting student enrollment at high schools to grow to 2,600 rather than using the target of 2,200 students. Board members requested a revisit of Board Policies 7100 School Location and 7112 School Size, and for more suggestions for dealing with the district’s growth.
